Why the jellies?

Around the kitchen table, if you don't want to hear, "Pass, the jellies, please," then kids need to inform the decision-makers about sustainable living "best practices" and share the love.4 votes -

Have Global Lessons - collaborating across the world
Classes should interact across the globe. Different schools can learn together interacting via the internet. They should collaborate on projects interwoven with other aspects of the curriculum - this doesn't just have to be about culture - they can collaborate on technology and language and literature and science.

School is a major stress factor to students causing negative effects on those with anxiety disorders, depression, etc. When presentations are required for instance, students should be allowed alternative methods of summative work such as essays etc. Anything that causes excessive harm to a persons psychological well being should not be an iron requirement.

Change the world from just your classroom
Microvolunteering can be described as easy, no commitment actions that benefit worthy causes and which can be conducted in under 30 minutes, on the go, on demand and on a person’s own terms.

So basically, Future Friendly Schools could incorporate microvolunteering actions within a Citizenship course to enable students to actually change the world in real time in a class lesson…

The motivation of educaiton should be public!
The word 'education' inherits the spirit of real education. The Latin word 'ēducātiō ' (A breeding, a bringing up, a rearing) came from ēdūcō (“I educate, I train”) which is related to the homonym ēdūcō (“I lead forth, I take out; I raise up, I erect”) from ē- (“from, out of”) and dūcō (“I lead, I conduct”).

This in turn will allow youth to widen their cross-cultural understanding while strengthening their own cultural identity.
